It may sound like a cliché, but there really is something special about playing golf in Perth, Angus and Fife. It is after all in this region of Scotland that the game started, and playing golf here on some of the most iconic and challenging courses in the world is something that every golfer should try and experience at least once.

You can stay at some of the best golf resorts in the world, renowned for their high standards of luxury and service, as well as of course the excellent golf. Take for example Gleneagles, the home for the 2014 Ryder Cup, which has three first class golf courses and one of the most luxurious hotels anywhere. Or there's also Fairmont St Andrews, equally luxurious and with two great courses of its own.
